Using various guests and staff at a luxury resort for the week, HBO has renewed the series for a second season, despite the show being conceived as a one-season limited miniseries. The show is said to be an anthology-style series, with new characters each season. HBO has done this before (to widespread acclaim) with the series True Detective (2014). Jeremy Vine Highlight: Episode #4,175 (2021). While some parts of the first season were worthy of the points, this second series is as masterful as one could hope for. The first episode starts off a little slow, but quickly picks up pace and impresses time and time again, captivating me as if I were not very experienced. It feels like a recap of every thought I have ever had on a vacation resort, many of which I have long since forgotten. From that perspective alone, it is a treat, but don’t worry, the flirtation with operatic heights of drama and beauty is quite appropriate considering it is set in Sicily. Given the excellent acting and the straightforward story, I’d say Mike White is the best actor in this series. The creator is an unknown genius. The guy seems to know no bounds, and he has one of the sharpest eyes for detail I’ve ever seen.
